AD Beekman: NCAA ruling validates MSU

East Lansing – The NCAA absolving Michigan State University of violations in the sexual misconduct by former Dr. Larry Nassar and its football and basketball programs was welcome news for MSU athletic director Bill Beekman.

That the NCAA found no reason to continue investigating the football or men’s basketball programs validated the university’s handling of those cases, Beekman told The Detroit News on Thursday.

“Over the last decade I feel very comfortable that we’ve trained very carefully and thoughtfully (on Title IX policy), and that our coaches have done a very good job of following that training and reporting as appropriate,” Beekman said.
